which it can bear they will be companions of the garden therein to dwell (for ever).

Hadith 9.171 Narrated by
Samura bin Jundub
Allah's Apostle very often used to ask his companions, "Did anyone of you see a dream?" So dreams would be narrated to
him by those whom Allah wished to tell. One morning the Prophet said, "Last night two persons came to me (in a dream) and
woke me up and said to me, 'Proceed!' I set out with them and we came across a man lying down, and behold, another man
was standing over his head, holding a big rock. Behold, he was throwing the rock at the man's head, injuring it. The rock
rolled away and the thrower followed it and took it back. By the time he reached the man, his head returned to the normal
state. The thrower then did the same as he had done before. I said to my two companions, 'Subhan Allah! Who are these two
persons?' They said, 'Proceed!' So we proceeded and came to a man lying flat on his back and another man standing over
his head with an iron hook, and behold, he would put the hook in one side of the man's mouth and tear off that side of his
face to the back (of the neck) and similarly tear his nose from front to back and his eye from front to back. Then he turned to
the other side of the man's face and did just as he had done with the other side. He hardly completed this side when the other
side returned to its normal state. Then he returned to it to repeat what he had done before. I said to my two companions,
'Subhan Allah! Who are these two persons?' They said to me, 'Proceed!' So we proceeded and came across something like a
Tannur (a kind of baking oven, a pit usually clay-lined for baking bread)." I think the Prophet said, "In that oven there was
much noise and voices." The Prophet added, "We looked into it and found naked men and women, and behold, a flame of fire
was reaching to them from underneath, and when it reached them, they cried loudly. I asked them, 'Who are these?' They
said to me, 'Proceed!' And so we proceeded and came across a river." I think he said, "...red like blood." The Prophet added,
"And behold, in the river there was a man swimming, and on the bank there was a man who had collected many stones.
Behold, while the other man was swimming, he went near him. The former opened his mouth and the latter (on the bank)
threw a stone into his mouth whereupon he went swimming again. He returned and every time the performance was
repeated, I asked my two companions, 'Who are these (two) persons?' They replied, 'Proceed! Proceed!' And we proceeded
till we came to a man with a repulsive appearance, the most repulsive appearance, you ever saw a man having! Beside him
there was a fire and he was kindling it and running around it. I asked my companions, 'Who is this (man)?' They said to me,
'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded till we reached a garden of deep green dense vegetation, having all sorts of spring
colors. In the midst of the garden there was a very tall man and I could hardly see his head because of his great height, and
around him there were children in such a large number as I have never seen. I said to my companions, 'Who is this?' They
replied, 'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded till we came to a majestic huge garden, greater and better than I have ever
seen! My two companions said to me, 'Go up,' and I went up." The Prophet added, "So we ascended till we reached a city
built of gold and silver bricks and we went to its gate and asked (the gatekeeper) to open the gate, and it was opened and we
entered the city and found in it, men with one side of their bodies as handsome as the handsomest person you have ever
seen, and the other side as ugly as the ugliest person you have ever seen. My two companions ordered those men to throw
themselves into the river. Behold, there was a river flowing across (the city), and its water was like milk in whiteness. Those
men went and threw themselves in it and then returned to us after the ugliness (of their bodies) had disappeared and they
became in the best shape." The Prophet further added, "My two companions (angels) said to me, 'This place is the Eden
Paradise, and that is your place.' I raised up my sight, and behold, there I saw a palace like a white cloud! My two
companions said to me, 'That (palace) is your place.' I said to them, 'May Allah bless you both! Let me enter it.' They replied,
'As for now, you will not enter it, but you shall enter it (one day). I said to them, 'I have seen many wonders tonight. What
does all that mean which I have seen?' They replied, 'We will inform you: As for the first man you came upon whose head
was being injured with the rock, he is the symbol of the one who studies the Qur'an and then neither recites it nor acts on its
orders, and sleeps, neglecting the enjoined prayers. As for the man you came upon whose sides of mouth, nostrils and eyes
were torn off from front to back, he is the symbol of the man who goes out of his house in the morning and tells so many lies
that it spreads all over the world. And those naked men and women whom you saw in a construction resembling an oven,
they are the adulterers and the adulteresses, and the man whom you saw swimming in the river and given a stone to
swallow, is the eater of usury (Riba) and the bad looking man whom you saw near the fire kindling it and going round it, is
Malik, the gatekeeper of Hell and the tall man whom you saw in the garden, is Abraham and the children around him are
those children who die with Al-Fitra (the Islamic Faith)." The narrator added: Some Muslims asked the Prophet, "O Allah's
Apostle! What about the children of pagans?" The Prophet replied, "And also the children of pagans." The Prophet added,
"My two companions added, 'The men you saw half handsome and half ugly were those persons who had mixed an act that
was good with another that was bad, but Allah forgave them.(

Abdullah bin Abbas
Abu Sufyan bin Harb informed me that Heraclius had sent a messenger to him while he had been accompanying a caravan
from Quraish. They were merchants doing business in Sham (Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan), at the time when
Allah's Apostle had truce with Abu Sufyan and Quraish infidels. So Abu Sufyan and his companions went to Heraclius at Ilya
(Jerusalem). Heraclius called them in the court and he had all the senior Roman dignitaries around him. He called for his
translator who, translating Heraclius's question said to them, "Who amongst you is closely related to that man who claims to
be a Prophet?" Abu Sufyan replied, "I am the nearest relative to him (amongst the group)."
Heraclius said, "Bring him (Abu Sufyan) close to me and make his companions stand behind him." Abu Sufyan added,
Heraclius told his translator to tell my companions that he wanted to put some questions to me regarding that man (The
Prophet) and that if I told a lie they (my companions) should contradict me." Abu Sufyan added, "By Allah! Had I not been
